Incident Details & Martyrdom Narrative
Martyr Jobayer Omar Khan was a promising young man. He was born on April 10, 2003, in Binod village, under Brahmanbaria district. He lost his mother only 6 months after his birth. He grew up without a mother's love. In his educational life, he was last studying in the Department of Law at Bangladesh University of Professionals (BUP). He was martyred in the anti-discrimination student movement while being a first-year student of BUP.
Incident Description
Martyr Jobayer's father is a Supreme Court lawyer. He received the education of moral values and commitment to the country and nation from his father. He himself was a law student. He was aware of human rights. That's why when the call for the anti-discrimination student movement came, he could not stay at home. He was involved from the beginning in this movement of students and citizens' heartfelt demands. He played an active role in the processions. On July 18, 2024, when they were conducting a peaceful movement, the terrorist forces of the Jubo League attacked the students with weapons. Unarmed students were forced to retreat. At that time, Shaheed Jobayer saw that a student of his university was being beaten by terrorists. The self-confident, courageous young man Jobayer stood alone with a rod. He rescued his comrade.
Shaheed Jobayer set an example of courage. He inspired other students. After crossing various obstacles, the demands of the students and citizens came down to one point. The uncompromising students and citizens against injustice achieved final victory.
On that historic day of August 5, the joy of the fall of the autocrat spread to millions of hearts. On such a day, the police fired on the procession of jubilant students and citizens in Jatrabari. Two bullets pierced Martyr Jobayer's right rib cage. This brilliant student was martyred on the spot.
Like his father, his elder brother is also a lawyer. Martyr Jobayer's dreams of becoming a lawyer like them was not fulfilled. But he helped bring a free and independent country.
Martyr's elder brother, Advocate J.I. Khan Piyas, said, "Jobayer had the chance to get admitted to the law faculty of Chittagong and Rajshahi universities, but we admitted him to BUP to stay with the family in Dhaka. He chose law from an intense desire to become a judge. On August 5, he was martyred by police bullets in Jatrabari during the anti-discrimination student movement. May Allah accept his sacrifice and martyrdom.â€
